This Section continues by commenting on Tables I.1-I.11 and Figures I.1-I.6, which can be found at the end of this Section. All these summary tables show results for eight familytypes, characterised by different family status (single/married, 0-2 children), economic status (one-/two-earner household) and wage level (33 per cent, 67 per cent, 100 per cent and 167 per cent of annual gross wage earnings of an average worker).
